Business Tips

Confident Over Smart

By Nathan Jamail

A person’s confidence is the nucleus of their wellbeing. A confident person is less willing to follow the wrong crowd. A confident person is more willing to take chances in their lives as well as their careers. Most importantly, a confident person believes in the most important thing- themselves. When we are confident, we are at our best. This isn’t the opposite of avoiding challenges or hard work. This is being confident so that we rush towards challenges and desire to work even harder. Learn how embracing confidence over being smart can be beneficial for your career or business.

똑똑함보다 중요한 자신감

자신감이야 말로 잘 사는 것의 핵심이라고 생각한다. 자신감 있는

사람은, 대중이 잘못된 길을 갈 때 그 뒤를 따르게 될 가능성이 적다.

자신감 있는 사람은, 인생에서, 그리고 커리어에서 새로운 도전을

하려 한다. 무엇보다도, 자신감 있는 사람에게는 가장 중요한 것에 대한 확신이 있다. 바로 자기 자신이다. 자신감이 있으면, 능력을 최대로 발휘할 수 있다. 자신감이 있다는 것은 어려움과 힘든 일을 피하는 것의 반대말이 아니다. 오히려 어려움을 향해 돌진하고, 더 힘든 일을 맡기를 원하게 된다는 뜻이다. 똑똑함 보다 자신감이 어떻게 여러분의 경력과 비즈니스에 도움이 되는지 알아보도록 하자.

1+1=7 Leveraging Intangibles for Business Wealth

By Baldwin Tom

Every day, businesses lose money by not understanding or leveraging their investments. When one considers the financials of organizations, it is clear that a significant portion of those investments are not captured in financial statements. Why? Because these are the people-side or soft-side intangible investments the accounting industry has yet to document. This may be a reason one views these same intangibles as not of significant value. But your intangible investments can be just as valuable as those that appear on your quarterly report.

1+1=7!

사업의 자산을 늘리기 위해 무형적 요소들을 활용하라 투자를 잘 이해하지 못하거나 활용하지 못해서 손해를 보는 사람들이 많습니다. 조직의 재정 상태를 평가할 때 재정 문서만으로는 투자의 상당 부분을 이해하지 못합니다. 왜 그럴까요? 회계학으로는 기록할 수 없는 인적 측면의 투자가 존재하기 때문입니다. 사람들은 이러한 요소들이 겉으로 드러나지 않는다고 해서 중요하지 않다고 생각할 수 있습니다. 하지만 무형적 투자는 분기별 보고서에 나오는 수치 만큼이나 가치 있는 요소일 수 있습니다.

Breaking Up Isn’t Hard to Do: Why Companies Lose Customers and What to Do About It

By Kate Zabriskie

Although Neil Sedaka and Howard Greenfield may have been right about love relationships when they penned their hit, “Breaking Up Is Hard to Do,” when it comes to business, that notion rings less true. Customers frequently break up with their suppliers, vendors, and partners. And guess what? Most of them don’t find it hard. Are breakups inevitable? Not always, but businesses need to understand the four reasons customers leave and how they can avoid them.

사랑에 관련되어 Neil Sedaka와 Howard Greenfield의 히트작인 “Breaking Up Is Hard to Do (무너진 사랑)” 가 옳았을 지는 모르지만, 사업에서는 그 개념이 잘 맞지 않습니다. 고객들은 공급자, 벤더 그리고 파트너사와의 관계를 자주 끊어버립니다. 그런데 생각해 보셨나요? 대부분의 고객들은 이를 어렵다고 생각하지 않습니다. 계약 해지는 불가피한가요? 항상 그런 것은 아니지만 고객이 떠나는 4가지 이유와 고객이 떠나지 않도록 하는 방법을 이해해야 합니다.

High Quality Grooming Products

Why an excellent haircut requires more than great clippers and trimmers

Clippers and trimmers are two of the most important electrical tools used in barbering. Clippers can be used for a variety of cutting techniques, from blending to texturizing. Trimmers, also referred to as edgers or outliners, are essential for finish and detail work. Today’s barber has a vast array of clipper styles to choose from. However, in order for these electrical tools to perform their best, quality grooming products are a necessity before and after using electrical tools. An excellent shampoo ensures that the barber is working with clean hair that is free from oils, debris, perspiration and hair products that can interfere with electrical cutting tools and the final hair cut results. Follow-up hair conditioning treatments after the shampoo help keep the hair healthy and manageable condition for the client and the barber. Hair conditioners moisturize the hair and help restore some of its natural oils and proteins and ultimately improve the hair’s strength and body.

As a professional barber, I would shampoo the hair twice. I shampoo the hair once, before using my electrical clippers to remove all oils, debris, perspiration and hair products from the hair. Gels, pomades, oils, moisturizers and other hair products clog the electrical

clipper blades and cause the blades to either stop cutting or slow down. This ensures that my electrical cutting tools deliver the best final hair cut results. I have tried to cut clients’ hair with hair products in it and it made it impossible for my clippers to give them the best hair cut results. That’s when we decided to come up with the No Grease Rule in my barbershop. There can be no grease in your hair if I was going to render a haircut without a shampoo.

The second recommended shampoo should be done after the haircut itself to remove all of the loose hairs that were cut or trimmed. Follow that shampoo up with a hair conditioner to moisturize the hair and restore some of its natural oils and proteins.

The Importance of Using Quality Products with Your Electrical Tools to Maximize Beard Grooming Results

Clippers and trimmers are two of the most important electrical tools used to shape and trim beards. Before shaping the beard with electrical clippers, shampoo with a gentle sulfate-free, beard shampoo to ensure that the beard is clean and free of beard products that could interfere with the electrical

cutting tools and final shaping results. Barber Shop Aid® Volumizing Beard Wash is Sulfate Free, Pareben Free and Fragrance Free and will leave the beard clean and soft. After the beard is clean, you can either towel dry it or use an electrical blow dryer to dry it. Electrical clippers and trimmers will perform at their optimum best when the hair is clean and dry.

After shaping the beard with clippers and trimming it with outliners, you are now ready to use a little aftershave on the trimmed areas to cool the skin down from any irritations that may have been caused by the electrical trimmers. Also, it’s time for the second wash to remove all of the loose cut and trimmed hairs. Loose hairs can fall onto your shirt, clothes, food, etc. So the second wash is just as important as the first.

ultimate healthy, shiny look and feel.

After the second wash, it is time to condition the beard. Barber Shop Aid® Volumizing Beard Conditioner helps restore hair strength, body and adds volume and softness.

After conditioning the beard, towel dry and use Barber Shop Aid® Leave in Conditioner Spray to detangle, soften and wake up the beard. After combing through the beard use Barber Shop Aid® Beard Oil to seal in the moisture and give freshly trimmed beards the

As you can see, there is a significance to using quality products with your electrical tools. Maximize the results of your quality tools with quality products. You can’t have one without the other.

Flat Irons and Curling Irons

When it comes to flat irons and curling irons, there is certainly a bounty of options to choose from. Whether it’s a single barrel or a triple barrel iron, electric or stove-heated, or a flat irons with ceramic plates or irons with quick, high heating capabilities, there is no shortage of products and brands for customers to consider.

How can store owners display their growing inventory of curling irons and flat irons?

“I was recently in several OTC stores and was amazed to see how many flat iron and curling Irons were out there for the store customers to choose from. In the curling irons category, you have sizes from ½ inch to 3 inches. And there are so many types and

brands, as well. You have Gold ‘n Hot, Hot Tools, Belson, Helen of Troy and BaByliss just to name a few. So how can the OTC display these? In most cases, they are in a section of their own. At one particular store last year, I set up a round table on the sales floor,

Scott Zangwill Merchandise Brand Specialist Inc.

The consumer really benefits from so many types of irons these days. With ceramic, tourmaline, and titanium flat iron plates available, along with different lengths and automatic shut-offs for safety and temperature adjustments, it can be fun for the customer to shop this variety of hair straightening irons. Flat irons tend to run in length from about 8 inches to 18 inches and their price range is from $10 to $100. However, the cheaper ones tend to burn out faster.

There are a few manufacturers that have heat protection lines to help the customers preserve the health of their hair while using these electric products. Heat protectant items can include shampoo conditioners, gels, and hair shines. This is a growing niche and isn’t going away. So I suggest displaying these products in combination with your store’s flat irons and curling tools, to maximize your units per transaction.”

CRUCIAL CUTS

최고의

컷트

There’s nothing better than a fresh cut and a fantastic fade. Perhaps one of the hardest, yet most crucial, things to achieve either cut is to master the decision for choosing the right clipper or trimmer for your grooming needs. What most don’t realize, is that different hair characteristics – like texture and density – will determine which tools will achieve the best performance. We tapped Andis Educator and award-winning Master Barber, Eric Cheek, to share insight on choosing the best tool for your next cut.

Understanding the Motor

To identify the best clipper, you must first establish which motor type will meet your cutting needs and complement the needs of your client. Electric clippers and trimmers are the top choice but it’s imperative to identify the best motor based on its unique benefits.

The most common choice is a rotary motor. The balance between power, speed, size and weight makes rotary motor tools extremely versatile and the preferred option for high volume, heavy-duty cutting for wet or dry hair. “The high power and medium blade speed are great for cutting a lot of short styles,” said Cheek. “It has incredible torque that allows you to move quickly, especially on straight hair.”

A magnetic motor tool is best for smooth cuts on dry, light textured hair due to the high speed. Less moving parts make these motors simple, reliable and long-lasting. Cheek specifically recommends the Andis Master Adjustable Blade Clipper series saying, “If you cut a lot of hair each week, you will want a magnetic motor clipper at your workstation. The Master’s high-speed design delivers 14,000 cutting strokes per minute.”

Last of the motor types is the pivot motor. It has high power and a lower blade speed making it a great choice for students or beginner clipper cutters. However, don’t let the lower blade speed fool you! The motor is twice as powerful as magnetic motors making it ideal for cutting thick, coarse hair.

깔끔한 컷트와 환상적인 페이드 컷트만큼 좋은 것도 없겠죠. 하지만 그보다 더 중요한 건 본인의 헤어스타일에 가장 적합 한 클리퍼와 트리퍼를 고르는 것인데, 그 또한 만만치 않습니다. 대다수는 질감과

밀도와 같이 각자 모발의 특성이 어떤 기구를 사용했을 때 최상의 결과를 낳을 것인지를 결정한다는 것을 깨닫지 못합니다. 저희는 여러분의 헤어컷트에 가장 적합한 장비를 선택할 수 있도록 Andis Educator( 앤디스의 교육 전문가)이자 수상 경력에 빛나는 마스터 바버인 Eric Cheek을 만났습니다.

모터방식 이해하기 가장 좋은 클리퍼를 찾아내기 위해 당신은 먼저 당신이 원하는 컷트 및 고객의 니즈를 보완하는데 알맞은 모터의 유형을 결정해야 합니다. 전기 클리퍼 및 트리머가 최상의 선택이긴 하지만 각각의 고유한 장점을 바탕으로 최고의 모터를 찾아내는 것이 반드시 필요합니다.

가장 일반적인 선택은 로터리 모터입니다. 동력, 속도, 크기, 그리고 무게 간 균형은 로터리 모터방식을 사용한 기구들을 매우 유동적으로 만들어 주며, 많은 숱, 건조 또는 젖은 모발의 견고한 컷트에 적합하도록 만들어줍니다. “강력한 동력과 중간 정도의 블레이드 속도는 많은 짧은 스타일의 머리를 자르는데 적합합니다” 라고 Cheek은 말합니다. “ 그것은 특히 직모에서 당신이 신속하게 움직일 수 있도록 하는 엄청난 회전력을 가지고 있습니다.”

마그네틱 모터방식의 경우는 고속으로 작동하므로 건조하고 가벼운 모발을 부드럽게 자르는데 적합합니다. 움직이는 부품수가 적기 때문에 이 모터는 간단하고 안정적이며 오래 사용할 수 있다는 특징이 있습니다. Cheek은 특히 Andis Master Adjustable Blade Clipper 시리즈에 대해 언급하며 “매주 많은 양의 머리카락을 자른다면 당신에게는 마그네틱 모터방식의 클리퍼가 필요할 것입니다. Master의 고속형 제품은 분당 14,000 번의 컷트를 해줍니다 “ 라고 했습니다.

마지막으로 소개할 모터의 유형은 피봇 모터입니다. 이 모터 형식의 클리퍼는 높은 동력과 낮은 블레이드 속도가 특징으로 학생 또는 초보자에게 탁월한 선택입니다. 하지만 느린 블레이드 속도에 속지 마십시오! 이 모터는 마그네틱 모터보다 두 배나 강력하여 두껍고

Adjustable Blade vs. Detachable Blade

The choice of an adjustable blade vs. detachable blade tool depends on the work pace at your salon or shop, volume of cuts and the styles of those cuts. It’s important to understand which tool will work best for you, as both types will deliver different benefits.

Adjustable blade clippers are for professionals who want a quick touch of the lever and do not want to lose their rhythm by starting and stopping. Typically, barbers or stylists who cut several fade styles favor the adjustable blade design.

If your tool has a lever on the side that moves the blade open and closed, it’s an adjustable blade clipper. This is important, as varying the blade length will change the cutting length of the attachment comb. When purchasing, the package should identify the cutting lengths, oftentimes between 000 –1. However, some specialty clippers like the Andis Fademaster cut more closely from 00000-000.

According to Cheek, “If you’re going to do a lot of shear style cutting with clippers, I recommend a cordless adjustable blade clipper that’s lightweight with at least two hours of runtime, a lithium-ion battery and comes with various attachment combs. My go-to is the Andis Cordless Envy Li Adjustable Blade Clipper.”

With a detachable blade clipper design, the blade length is achieved by changing out the entire blade set. There is no need to switch tools, and detachable blades will generally deliver a smoother, finished cut in a single pass than a clipper with an attachment comb. Oftentimes, hair professionals that use clippers for the majority of their work will favor detachable blade clippers.

When picking a trimmer, Cheek suggests a trimmer blade that is adjustable, not fixed. “Since clipper companies do not zero gap (refers to the alignment of the blade) the blades from the factory, they do not cut the hair to maximum closeness. Therefore, learning how to zero gap your trimmer blade is essential to producing sharp crisp lines.”

Cutting the Cord

Deciding whether to go with or without the cord can depend on your lifestyle and individual client needs. In most cases, corded tools have more power than cordless. However, Andis’ new Cordless T-Outliner Trimmer is changing the barber game worldwide. Delivering the same power, speed and reliability, the advancement of cordless tools has created more convenience and less clutter.

“When considering cordless trimmers, make sure that you pick one that is high speed, has a lithium-ion battery and the option to plug the clipper in while cutting, if necessary,” said Cheek. “I’ve found T-blades to be a favorite because you get more coverage if needed, or you can use it like a pencil for designs.”

조절 식 블레이드 vs. 탈착식 블레이드

조절식 블레이드와 탈착식 블레이드의 선택은 귀하의 살롱 또는 샵에서

작업 속도, 컷팅하는 양, 그리고 컷팅 스타일에 따라 다릅니다. 두 유형 모두 각자의 장점이 있으므로 귀하가 작업하는 데 어떤 기구가 가장 적당한가를 이해하는 것이 중요합니다.

조절식 블레이드 타입의 클리퍼는 신속하게 레버를 조작하고 싶거나 컷팅 시작과 종료의 리듬을 잃고 싶지 않은 전문가를 위한 것입니다. 일반적으로, 여러 가지 페이드(fade) 스타일의 컷트를 실시하는 이발사 또는 스타일리스트는 조절식 블레이드를 선호합니다.

만약 당신의 기구가 블레이드를 여닫게 하는 레버를 양 옆에 갖고 있다면, 그것은 조절식 블레이드 타입의 클리퍼입니다. 블레이드 길이를 조절하면 부착된 빗의 절단 길이가 변경되므로 이는 중요한 요소입니다. 구매 시, 패키지는 절단 길이를 종종 000-1 사이로 표시해야 합니다. 하지만, Andis Fademaster과 같이 일부 전문 클리퍼는 좀 더 짧은 00000-000에 가깝게 절단합니다.

Cheek에 따르면 “만약 귀하가 많은 shear 스타일의 컷을 할 계획이라면, 가볍고, 두 시간정도 사용할 수 있는 리튬 이온 배터리를 내장하고 있고, 다양한 부착 빗을 가지고 있는 무선 조절식 클리퍼를 추천합니다. Andis Cordless Envy Li Adjustable Blade Clipper가 추천할 만한 클리퍼입니다.”

탈착식 블레이드 클리퍼의 경우, 블레이드 길이는 전체 블레이드 세트를 변경함으로써 블레이드 길이를 조절합니다. 기구를 전환할 필요가 없으며, 탈착식 블레이드는 일반적으로 부착 빗을 가지고 있는 클리퍼보다 한번에 부드럽고 완성된 컷트를 선사합니다. 일할 때 주로 클리퍼를 사용하는 헤어 전문가들은 종종, 탈착식 블레이드 클리퍼를 선호합니다.

트리머를 선택할 때, Cheek은 고정식이 아닌 조절식 블레이드의 트리머를 제안합니다. “클리퍼 회사들은 공장에서 블레이드의 틈이 없게끔(블레이드의 날 조정을 통해) 만들지 않으므로, 이러한 기구는 머리카락을 최대한 바싹 가깝게 자르지 못합니다. 따라서, 귀하의 트리머 블레이드의 틈새를 어떻게 없애는가를 배우는 것이 뚜렷하며 깨끗한 라인을 만드는데 필수적입니다.”

선을 없애다

귀하의 라이프 스타일과 고객 개개인의 니즈에 따라 유선 또는 무선을 선택할 수 있습니다. 대부분의 경우에, 무선 보다는 유선이 더 강력합니다. 하지만 Andis’ new Cordless T-Outliner Trimmer는 전 세계적으로 이발업계를 변화시키고 있습니다. 동일한 동력, 속도, 그리고 안정성을 제공하는 무선 기구의 발전으로 편리함은 더하고 어수선함은 줄였습니다.

“무선 트리머를 고려할 때, 빠른 속도를 고려해 고른다면 리튬 이온 전지를 내장하고 있는 것과 필요하다면 커팅하는 동안에 클리퍼를 플러그에 연결할 수 있는 조건을 확인하십시오” 라고 Cheek은 말합니다. “저는 T-블레이드를 사용하면 필요에 따라 더 많은 적용 범위를 확보할 수 있고, 디자인 컷을 위해 연필처럼 사용할 수 있기 때문에 선호합니다.”

Maintaining Your Tool

To ensure your tool lasts over time and produces high-quality cuts, it’s imperative to take care of your blades. Using blade oil and disinfectant are helpful to maintain performance and kill viruses living on the tool’s surface.

Truly understanding the tools for the trade is one of the most important skills you can learn. Next time you’re looking to get started or simply upgrade your barber station in shop or at home, take notes on which types of motors, blades and cordless tools are best for your lifestyle and client needs.

“Confidence creates success” Business Tips

Confident Over Smart

똑똑함보다 중요한 자신감

My daughter is very young for her grade. She missed the cut off by one day to be in the grade below her. With that being said, she had struggled for most of the school year with her reading and writing. We decided to hold her back next year so that she will be one of the older kids in her grade instead of the youngest. We felt this aligned with her learning abilities with her age and maturity level. This was based on our belief that we would prefer our kids to be confident kids rather than ‘smart’ kids. This does not mean that our kids are not smart or that being smart is not important; it means that we feel a person’s confidence determines their happiness, success and their willingness to fail and learn. This lesson from our six-year-old applies to us as adults, as well.

The power of confidence:

I believe a person’s confidence is the nucleus of their wellbeing. A confident person is less willing to follow the wrong crowd. A confident person is more willing to take chances in their lives as well as their careers. Most importantly, a confident person believes in the most

낮은 학년으로

것을 간신히 면했다. 사실 우리 딸은 학교에서의 시간 대부분동안 읽고 쓰는 능력을 익히는 것도 버거워했다. 우리는 학교에서 아이의 진급을 늦춰서, 딸이 자기보다 성숙한 아이들이 아니라 자기보다 어린 친구들과 함께 공부하게 하기로 결정했다. 우리는 이렇게 하는 것이 아이의 성숙도와 학과의 난이도를 조화시키는 일이라고 믿었다. 우리의 아이가 ‘똑똑한’ 아이보다는 ‘자신감 있는’ 아이로 성장하기를 바랐기 때문이다. 우리 아이가 똑똑하지 않다거나, 똑똑해질 필요가 없다는 말이 아니다. 다만 어떤 사람의 행복과 성공, 그리고 실패를 두려워 않고 그로부터 배우려는 의지를 만들어내는 것이 바로 그 사람의 자신감이라는 말이다. 이는 여섯 살짜리 우리 아이에게만이 아니라, 우리 어른들에게도 물론 적용된다.

자신감의 힘

나는 자신감이야 말로 잘 사는 것의 핵심이라고 생각한다. 자신감 있는

important thing- themselves.

When we feel confident, we are more motivated and happier in general. When we believe in ourselves, others will believe in us too. When we are confident, we are at our best. This isn’t the opposite of avoiding challenges or hard work. This is being confident so that we rush towards challenges and desire to work even harder.

What being a confident leader is:

1. Being a confident leader is about believing in themselves and also having humility. It takes great confidence to be willing to learn and take constructive feedback.

2. Being a confident leader is taking the blame for everything that goes wrong inside and outside of one’s control.

3. Being a confident leader is always looking to do the right thing despite the consequences or amount of effort required.

What being a confident leader is not:

1. Being a confident leader is not being arrogant. In fact, arrogance is a sure-fire result of a person being insecure; the exact opposite of confident.

2. Being a confident leader is not about going against the grain or being a rebel without a cause.

3. Being a confident leader is not about making the popular choice or worrying if your team likes you.

A confident leader is about always doing the right thing versus still being right.

Great Leaders build their people’s confidence.

Great leaders understand that a confident employee is a better employee. But don’t confuse confidence with cocky or arrogant.

The key is how a leader builds their team’s confidence:

1. A leader achieves this goal by challenging their employees to do more than they think is possible through empowerment and encouragement.

2. A leader demands the best from their employees and recognizes them for their achievement.

3. A leader never allows an employee to give up or do less than they are capable of doing.

4. A leader encourages their employees to fail and learn to embrace their mistakes, rather than the alternative of being too afraid to try.

Where leaders go wrong:

So often, leaders have the right intentions but the wrong actions in building their employee’s confidence.

자신감 있는 사람은, 인생에서, 그리고 커리어에서 새로운 도전을 하려 한다. 무엇보다도, 자신감 있는 사람에게는 가장 중요한 것에 대한 확신이 있다. 바로 자기 자신이다.

사람에게 자신감이 있으면, 그는 전반적으로 더 활기차고 행복해진다. 우리가 우리 자신을 믿으면, 다른 사람도 우리에게 신뢰심이 생긴다. 자신감이 있으면, 능력을 최대로 발휘할 수 있다. 자신감이 있다는 것은 어려움과 힘든 일을 피하는 것의 반대말이 아니다. 오히려 어려움을 향해 돌진하고, 더 힘든 일을 맡기를 원하게 된다는 뜻이다.

자신감 있는 리더가 하는 것

1. 자신감 있는 리더는 자기 자신을 믿으면서 동시에 겸손하다. 교훈을 얻고 건설적인 조언을 받아들이려면 강한 자신감이 필요하다.

2. 자신감 있는 리더는 자기 책임 하의 업무상 발생하는 모든 비난을 회피하지 않고 받아들인다.

3. 자신감 있는 리더는 그 결과가 어떻든, 얼마나 힘들든 상관없이 옳은 일을 하려고 한다.

자신감 있는 리더가 하지 않는 것

1. 자신감 있는 리더는 오만하지 않다. 사실 오만함이란 자신감과는 완전히 반대인, 뭔가 불안하고 위축된 사람에게서 발견되는 태도이다.

2. 자신감 있는 리더는 어떤 사안이든 이유 없이 반대하거나 퇴짜 놓지 않는다.

3. 자신감 있는 리더는 팀원들의 선망을 잃을까 두려워 인기 있는 결정만을 하려고 하지 않는다.

자신감 있는 리더는 상황에 관계없이 옳은 결정을 내리려고 한다.

훌륭한 리더는 자기 사람들의 자신감을 키워준다.

훌륭한 리더는 자신감 있는 직원이 더 일을 잘한다는 것을 안다. 다만 자신감을 오만함과 헷갈려서는 안 된다.

리더는 어떻게 팀원의 자신감을 키울 수 있는가?

1. 직원의 힘을 북돋아, 그가 스스로 할 수 있다고 믿는 한계 이상을 하도록 격려한다.

2. 직원이 최선을 다할 것을 기대하고, 그들이 이룬 성취를 인정해준다.

3. 직원이 포기하거나 스스로 할 수 있는 것보다 적게 이루는 것을 용납하지 않는다.

팀원의 자신감을 키우려면 해서는 안되는 행동:

좋은 의도로 한 일이지만, 결과적으로 직원의 자신감을 떨어뜨리게 되는 일이 자주 일어난다.

BEACH BABY LIGHTS

1. A leader will reward undeserving employees or give false praise in hopes it will give them something to build on. In reality, all it does is reward “less-than” behaviors and results.

2. A leader will accept an employee’s excuses for not achieving or doing more and let them get away with doing only what is minimally acceptable.

3. A leader will defend their employees to their boss; saying, “My team can’t do any more” or “they are doing their best despite their lackluster results.”

All of these situations have good intentions, but the actions limit the team’s confidence and success. The issue is when the leader sympathizes with their employees rather than empathizes. Empathy is used when a leader recognizes the issues but does not let the employees give up. They give a lit bit of tough love like when my daughter is screaming, “I can’t do it!” as she floats in the water, holding a ski rope as we get ready to pull her up. This is when my wife yells, “We don’t say ‘can’t’. You can do this and all it starts with is you trying!” My wife loves my daughter but knows this is not the time to sympathize, rather it is a time to encourage her, so she understands she is big enough, brave enough and confident enough to ski like her big sister.

A leader’s job, similar to parent’s, is to make those they lead become the most confident person they can be so that they can be the best version of themselves. This includes making tough decisions, which become a little easier when backed by the intention of great expectations and great encouragement. Despite the difficulty, it is always worth it when results soar and confidence is leading the way.

1. 뭔가

주기 위해 명분 없이 상을 주거나, 진심이 아닌 칭찬을 하는 경우. 이것은 사실상 ‘자신 능력보다 못한 경우’에 상을

주는 격이다.

2. 직원이 실패하거나 적게 성취한 것에 대한 핑계를 인정해주거나

최소한의 일만 하도록 내버려두는 경우.

3. 상급자에게 “우리 팀에게 더 이상은 무리입니다” 라거나 혹은 “

어쨌든 그들은 최선을 다하고 있습니다” 라고 자기 팀원을 변호해주는 경우.

이러한 행동들은 의도는 좋았지만, 결과적으로 팀원의 자신감을 떨어뜨리고 성공 가능성을 낮추게 된다. 그 원인은, 직원들이 겪는 문제에 ‘동정’ 이 앞서 그들과 ‘공감’ 하지 못하는데 있다. 직원과 ‘공감’ 한다는 것은, 직원들의 문제를 이해하고 그들이 포기하지 않도록 독려하는 것을 말한다. 우리 딸이 헤엄을 치며 “못 하겠어요!” 하고 도움을 요청할 때, 아내가 ‘못 한다’ 는 건 없는 거야. 하려고만 한다면, 넌 할 수 있어!” 라고 말하는 것과 같은, 약간은 터프한 방식의 사랑과 같은 것이다. 아내는 딸을 사랑하지만, 동시에 지금은 아이를 동정할 때가 아니며, 아이가 자기 언니처럼 용감하고 훌륭하게 할 수 있다고 믿어줘야 할 때임을 알고 있는 것이다.

리더의 역할이란 부모와 비슷하게, 이끄는 사람들의 자신감을 최대한 키워줘서 그들이 될 수 있는 최고의 능력을 발휘할 수 있도록 만드는 것이다. 그렇게 하려면 때론 혹독한 결정을 내려야 할 수 있으며, 여기에 그들에 대한 큰 기대와 큰 격려가 뒷받침되어야 한다. 땀방울과 자신감으로 일하게 만드는 것은 쉽지 않지만, 언제나 그 보람이 있다.

1+1=7!

Leveraging Intangibles for Business Wealth

Every day, businesses lose money by not understanding or leveraging their investments. When one considers the financials of organizations, it is clear that a significant portion of those investments is not captured in financial statements. Why? Because these are the people-side or soft-side intangible investments the accounting industry has yet to document. This may be a reason one views these same intangibles as not of significant value.

But your intangible investments can be just as valuable as those that appear on your quarterly report.

The Magnificent 7

There are seven capital investments available to every organization. Two are strictly on the task or tangible work side, and five are focused on people and what they produce. This means that five of the seven, or 71%, of all capital investments, are on the people, or the soft (intangible) side of the equation. Not surprisingly, there is hidden wealth and power buried in these people-side investments. When people work together, such as in teams, there is powerful leveraging such that 1+1 is no longer 2, but is more like 1+1=7.

활용하지 못해서 손해를 보는 사람들이 많습니다. 조직의 재정 상태를 평가할 때 재정 문서만으로는 투자의 상당 부분을 이해하지 못합니다. 왜 그럴까요? 회계학으로는 기록할 수 없는 인적 측면의 투자가 존재하기 때문입니다. 사람들은 이러한 요소들이 겉으로 드러나지 않는다고 해서 중요하지 않다고 생각할 수 있습니다. 하지만 무형적 투자는 분기별 보고서에 나오는 수치만큼이나 가치 있는 요소일 수 있습니다.

7이라는 놀라운 결과 모든 조직에서 활용할 수 있는 자본 투자의 영역은 일곱 가지가 있습니다. 두 가지는 엄밀히 업무 혹은 유형적 측면에 속하며, 다섯 가지는 사람들과 그들이 만들어 내는 것에 초점을 맞춥니다. 즉 모든 투자 영역인 7가지 중에서 5가지 혹은 71퍼센트는 인적(무형적) 영역에 속하는 것입니다. 이러한 인적 측면의 영역에 부와 힘이 잠재되어 있다는 것은 당연한 일일지 모릅니다. 사람들이 함께 팀을 이루어 일할 때, 1+1은 더 이상 2가 아니라 7이라는 강력한 힘을 발휘하게 됩니다.

When people work together, such as in teams, there is powerful leveraging such that 1+1 is no longer 2, but is more like 1+1=7.

As a simple means to frame the seven investments, all work and efforts can be separated into two components – the Task side and the People side. The Task side encompasses tangibles such as hard issues and assets, work to be done, things, structures and fixtures. The People side is comprised of the intangibles like soft issues and assets, those who do the work, interactions, teamwork, culture and norms.

Task Side (Tangibles)

1. Financial Investments

Financial capital is the monetary currency used to run the business by purchasing materials/resources and investing in people to facilitate its success. There is little mystery here. Financial capital is one of two currencies of exchange between people who do the work and the work they do. The other currency of exchange on the intangible side is spiritual capital.

2. Physical Investments

Physical capital is represented in fixed materials needed for products and services. This includes tangible machinery, buildings, equipment, computers,

7가지 투자 영역을 단순하게 정리해 본다면 모든 업무와 노력을 두 영역인 업무 측면과 인적 측면으로 구분해 볼 수 있습니다. 업무 측면에는 해결하기 어려운 문제나 자산, 처리해야 할 업무, 구조 등을 포괄합니다.

인적 측면에는 업무를 수행하는 사람, 상호 관계, 팀워크, 문화 및 규범 등의 무형적 요소들이 포함됩니다.

업무 측면(유형적)

1. 금융 투자 금융 자본은 재료나 리소스를 구매하고 ,성공을 거두기 위해 사람에게 투자하는 등 사업을 운영하는 데 사용되는 통화 자금을 가리킵니다. 흥미로운 점은 금융 자본은 일을 한 사람이 그 일에 대한 대가로 주고받는 자금을 가리키는 반면 그러한 과정에서 정신적 자본이라는

together with land and labor. The benefit of timely investments here is so the enterprise remains competitive. Importantly, a commensurate investment on the people side —either in human, relationship and/or customer capital – is necessary to maximize ROI.

People Side (Intangibles)

3. Human Investments

Investing in human capital is an easy one. Just as with physical capital investments, without upgrades, technology becomes slow and/or obsolete. It is the same with people; you need continuous upgrades. Training, coaching, education, mentoring, and internships are obvious ways to increase people’s value. Importantly, the value of this investment spreads throughout an enterprise—in organizational capital (patents, processes, procedures), physical capital (innovative products and services), spiritual capital (morale, work satisfaction), and relationship capital (teamwork, customer relations).

4. Relationship Investments

One of the most valuable assets in an organization is relationships. Value is derived from this investment daily from leveraging people’s interactions. It’s about power and influence. The network of relationships (people inside and outside the organization) that interact with a business represents a significant resource. Building relationship capital delivers a host of ROI benefits resulting from a higher level of trust in products, sales, customer retention, and even resolving disagreements. The multiplier for ROI may appear small, but secondary impact and synergies of relationships can be huge.

5. Spiritual Investments

Spiritual capital in a business is derived from the values created by an organization’s leadership. With a great deal of spiritual capital, there is ethical decision-making built into a value-based culture where the goal is less shareholder gain and more gain for customers and stakeholders. The

중요한 점은 사람이든 관계이든

그리고/또는 소비자 자본이든 인적 측면에 적절하게 투자를 하는 것은 투자 수익률(ROI)을 최대치로 높이는 데에 필수적입니다.

인적 측면 (무형적)

3. 인적 투자 인적 자본에 투자하는 것은 쉬운 개념입니다. 물리적인 자본 투자와 마찬가지로 기술은 업그레이드 하지 않는다면 느려지고 도태되게 됩니다. 사람도 마찬가지이어서 지속적으로 업그레이드할 필요가 있습니다. 사람의 가치를 높이기 위해 트레이닝, 코칭, 교육, 멘토링, 인턴쉽 등의 방법을 동원합니다. 이처럼 인적 자원에 투자를 하게 되면 회사 전반에 파급 효과를 주게 되어 조직의 자본(특허권, 과정, 절차), 물리적 자본( 혁신적인 제품 및 서비스), 정신적 자본(의욕, 업무 만족감) 및 관계 자본 (팀워크, 고객과의 관계)에 영향을 줍니다.

4. 관계 투자 조직에서 가장 소중한 자산 중 하나는 바로 관계를 형성하는 것입니다. 사람들 사이의 관계를 통해 매일 가치가 창출됩니다. 여기에는 능력과 영향력이 관련됩니다. 사람들이 (조직 내부와 외부에서) 사업 거래를 하며 맺는 복잡한 관계는 중요한 자원입니다. 자본 거래 관계를 할 때 제품에 대한 신뢰도 및 판매와 고객 점유율, 그리고 심지어 분쟁을 해결하는 면에서 높은 수준을 유지하면 투자 수익률이 높아지게 됩니다. 투자 수익률의 상승이 처음에는 크지 않을 수 있지만 사람들 간의 관계로 인한 2차적인 영향과 시너지 효과는 상당할 수 있습니다.

5. 정신적 투자 정신적인 자본은 조직의 리더쉽을 통해 창출됩니다. 정신적 자본 중 상당 부분은 소유주가 이익을 덜 취하고 고객과 주주들이 이익을 더 취한다는 문화에 근거한 윤리적 결정과 관련됩니다. 그러한 문화는 인간의 정신에 힘을 불어넣고 사회적 소속감과 개인의 만족감을 높여 줍니다. 그렇게

build a family culture

6. Customer Investments

Customer capital is the relationship value a business builds with its customers. This goes beyond customer loyalty and includes customer feedback to the business, and partnering with the customer to produce new products and services. Value also manifests in the form of referrals and great press about the business from customers. Every executive recognizes the importance of paying attention to the customer. But just being nice (sending holiday cards or gifts) is only the beginning when it comes to enhancing ROI. Making efforts to partner with the customer is the ideal investment.

7. Organizational Investments

Organizational capital represents the value of an enterprise derived from mostly intangible assets such as processes, procedures, systems, patents, trade secrets, reputation, brand and intellectual property. An organizational investment is one of the most important investments leaders can make because this is where the memory of the enterprise resides. Building, investing in, and maintaining one’s brand and reputation and protecting intellectual property (trade secrets, patents, processes, and procedures) are critical to sustaining the enterprise. This is where one protects the knowledge, skills, and expertise from being lost when talented people depart from the organization.

Intangibles Control Business Success

As a means to discern which of the Magnificent 7 investments were most critical in a merger or acquisition, the corporate, healthcare, and the accounting industries were studied. In nearly every merger, success or failure was predicated on alignment or misalignment of culture between the merging entities. Culture in the Magnificent 7 theory is established within the collective investments of Human, Relationship, and Spiritual capitals. These people-side intangible investments reinforce the notion that soft-side investments have significant impact in generating success or failure in a business.

How do you discover and leverage hidden wealth in your organization? Here are the steps:

1. Inventory your investments: Identify the investment areas you are focused on.

2. Pair investments: Match any task side investment with a people side one. Thus, if you invest in new technology, be sure to invest in training for personnel.

3. Set goals for each investment: Determine goals and completion dates for each investment.

4. Determine where you are now: Track the success of reaching investment goals.

5. Monitor progress toward goals: Evaluate the investments and how you are doing in achieving goals. Make corrections or change course as needed.

6. Celebrate success: Reinforce success to encourage new efforts.

7. Repeat steps 1-6

There is no doubt that judicious investing on the People-side components when paired with Task-side investments yields significant ROI. Leveraging the intangibles accentuates power, creativity, innovation and thereby new products, services, and thus value generation and wealth in organizations.

6. 고객에 대한 투자 고객 자본은 고객과 거래 관계를 맺으며 얻는 수익을 가리킵니다. 여기에는 고객의 충성심과 사업에 대한 피드백, 새로운 제품과 서비스 제공을 위해 고객과 협력하는 것 이상이 관련됩니다. 고객에게 위탁을 하고 그들의 의견을 수렴하면 수익이 창출됩니다. 모든 경영진들은 고객에게 관심을 기울이는 것이 중요하다는 것을 알고 있습니다. (휴일에 카드나 선물을 보내는 등의 방법으로) 고객의 환심을 얻는 것은 투자 수익률을 높이는 첫 단계에 불과합니다. 고객과 협력하여 일하기 위해 노력하는 것은 최상의 투자라 할 수 있습니다.

7. 조직 투자 조직 자본은 과정이나 절차, 시스템, 특허, 거래 기밀, 평판, 브랜드 및 지적 자산 등의 무형적인 자산을 통해 창출되는 수익을 가리킵니다. 조직 투자는 경영인들이 가장 중요하게 여겨야 하는 투자 영역 중 하나라고 할 수 있습니다. 그러한 투자로 인해 기업에 대한 이미지가 남게 되기 때문입니다. 기업의 브랜드와 평판을 만들고 투자하며 관리하고 지적 재산(거래 기밀, 특허, 과정 및 절차)을 보호하는 것은 기업을 유지하기 위해 필요한 매우 중요한 요소입니다. 그렇기 때문에 기업에서는 재능 있는 사람이 조직을 떠나게 되어 지식과 기술, 전문 지식을 잃게 되는 일이 없도록 하기 위해 노력합니다.

무형 요소들이 사업의 성공을 좌우한다 합병이나 인수 때 이러한 7가지 투자 유형 중 어느 것이 가장 중요한지를 판단하기 위해서는 기업 및 보건 그리고 회계 분야에 대한 공부가 필요합니다. 대부분의 합병자의 경우에, 합병 대상인 기업들의 문화적 차이를 분석했는지에 따라 성공과 실패를 예견할 수 있었습니다. 7 대 투자 이론은 인적 및 관계 그리고 정신적인 자본 등을 종합적으로 고려하여 정립되었습니다. 이러한 인적 측면의 무형적인 투자를 고려해 보면 사업의 성공 혹은 실패 여부가 무형적 투자 요소에 크게 좌우된다는 것을 알 수 있습니다.

여러분의 조직에 잠재되어 있는 수익을 어떻게 찾고 활용할 수 있습니까? 다음의 단계를 실천해 보십시오:

1. 투자 영역을 조사합니다. 어느 영역에 중점을 두어야 하는지 확인합니다

2. 투자 영역끼리 짝을 지으십시오: 한 영역의 업무 투자를 다른 한 영역의 인적 투자와 매칭을 합니다. 예를 들어 새로운 기술에 투자를 한다면 동시에 직원 훈련을 위해 투자할 수 있습니다.

3. 각 투자 영역의 목표를 설정하십시오: 각 투자 영역의 목표와 완료 날짜를 정하십시오.

4. 현재의 상태를 확인하십시오: 투자 목표와 비교하여 얼마나 성공을 거두었는지 확인하십시오.

5. 목표치와 비교하여 얼마나 발전했는지 관찰하십시오: 투자 영역을 평가하고 목표 달성을 위한 진전 상태가 어떠 한지 점검하십시오. 필요하다면 수정을 하고 방법을 바꾸십시오.

6. 성공을 축하하십시오: 이제 다른 영역에 노력을 기울이도록 격려하여 성공의 가능성을 높이십시오.

7. 1-6 단계를 반복하십시오.

인적 측면의 영역과 업무 측면의 영역을 신중하게 매칭하면 투자 수익률 (ROI)이 높아질 것입니다. 무형적인 요소들을 활용하면 능력과 창의성, 혁신성이 극대화되어 새로운 제품과 서비스를 제공하고 조직의 이익과 부를 창출하게 됩니다.

Breaking Up Isn’t Hard to Do

Why Companies Lose Customers and What to Do About It

Although Neil Sedaka and Howard Greenfield may have been right about love relationships when they penned their hit, “Breaking Up Is Hard to Do,” when it comes to business, that notion rings less true. Customers frequently break up with their suppliers, vendors, and partners. And guess what? Most of them don’t find it hard. Are breakups inevitable? Not always, but businesses need to understand the four reasons customers leave and how they can avoid them.

Better Product

Sometimes customers decide to breakup because they find a better product. They discover something that addresses their needs that’s faster, easier, healthier, more effective, more enjoyable, or improved in other ways that are important to them.

사랑에 관련되어 Neil Sedaka와 Howard Greenfield의 히트작인 “Breaking Up Is Hard to Do (무너진 사랑)” 가 옳았을 지는 모르지만, 사업에서는 그 개념이 잘 맞지 않습니다. 고객들은 공급자, 벤더 그리고 파트너사와의 관계를 자주 끊어버립니다. 그런데 생각해보셨나요? 대부분의 고객들은 이를 어렵다고 생각하지 않습니다. 계약 해지는 불가피한가요? 항상 그런 것은 아니지만 고객이 떠나는 4 가지 이유와 고객이 떠나지 않도록 하는 방법을 이해해야 합니다.

Smart companies listen to what their customers want, think beyond those demands, and push themselves to innovate and improve.

Are you buying the exact same things you were buying 20 or 40 years ago? Have you any use for a Walkman? Probably not. Smart companies listen to what their customers want, think beyond those demands, and push themselves to innovate and improve.

Relationship Extenders

1. Pay attention. Know what you’re selling, what others are selling, and how your customers are using what they buy from you. What problem are you solving? What would customers buy if you weren’t around? What did they buy instead?

2. Challenge the status quo. It’s easier to innovate when you’re not being reactive. Don’t wait for a customer exodus to motivate you. Challenge yourself to innovate before you’re faced with no choice. What could you do better?

Better Process

Leaving for a different product isn’t the only reason customers tell

더 좋은 제품 때로 고객은 더 좋은 제품을 찾기 위해 계약 해지를 결정합니다. 고객들에게 중요하고 필요한 더 빠르고 더 쉽고 더 건강하고 더 효과적이며, 즐길 수 있거나 방식을 개선할 수 있는 무엇인가를 찾습니다.

20 ~ 40년 전에 산 것과 똑같은 물건을 구매하나요? 워크맨을 아직 사용하시나요? 아마도 사용하지 않을 것입니다. 똑똑한 기업은 고객이 원하는 것을 듣고 그러한 요구를 넘어선 것을 생각하여 혁신하고 개선하기 위해 노력합니다.

관계 확장

1. 나는 무엇을 팔고, 다른 사람들은 무엇을 판매하는지, 그리고 내 고객이 어떤 제품을 사용하는지에 대해 집중하십시오. 무슨 문제를 해결해주고 있나요? 근처에 내 가게가 없다면 고객들은 무엇을 구매하나요? 고객들은 어떤 물건을 대신 구매했나요?

2. 현재 상황에 도전하십시오. 현재 고객에게 대응하고 있지 않을

때는 혁신이 더욱 쉬워집니다. 고객 이탈로 인한 동기가 부여될 때까지 기다리지 마십시오. 불가피하게 선택할 수밖에 없는 상황에 처하기 전에 스스로 혁신에 도전하십시오.

companies goodbye. Good processes count too. Without them, the customer experience suffers. For instance, imagine a movie theater with great films, state-of-the-art sound, pleasant employees, and clean facilities. So far, so good. Now pair that vision with long lines, staff members who can’t figure out how to work the cash registers despite their good manners, double-booked theaters, and so forth. Would you risk taking someone you cared about to such a place, or would you choose to avoid the headache and go somewhere else? Most people would prefer to opt for a breakup and avoid potential pain and problems.

The lesson? At a minimum, doing business should not be hard. If you’ve got processes in place that inflict pain on your customers, don’t be surprised when they bolt the minute they find an acceptable alternative.

Relationship Extenders

1. Make doing business easy. Walk in your customers’ shoes, and experience your business the way they do. What are you making difficult? What could you make easier? Where are you wasting their time? What used to make sense but doesn’t anymore?

2. Borrow from others. Process improvement ideas are everywhere you look if you know how to find them. When you are interacting with other businesses, ask yourself what they are doing well and what you can do to adopt or adapt.

Better Service

All else being equal (or even in the ballpark), customers will often break up with organizations because someone else is paying them more attention or better attention. Consistent caring doesn’t happen by accident. It requires organizations to: define great service, hire people who are capable of delivering on those promises, train them how to do it, and put a management team in place to oversee the process.

Relationship Extenders

1. Define what you expect. If you don’t identify what A+ service looks like, don’t be surprised when your employees don’t deliver.

2. Train people and hold them accountable. Plenty of organizations offer training, but they treat it like a one-and-done activity. After you’ve defined what you want to see and hear, you need to put a plan in place to teach people how. Once they know what they are supposed to do and how to do it, hold them accountable. Reward the good, and coach the deficiencies.

3. Don’t get too comfortable. If you think your customers will just be there because they’re there, you’re mistaken. You must earn and reearn your customers’ business. Look for signs you’ve gotten sloppy or lazy, and take immediate steps to get back to your best behavior and woo your customers again.

Better Price

The final reason customers will leave a business is the price. If customers can get the same product and service they receive from you from someone who charges less, often they will leave. In other words, when the value to price equation gets out of whack, people look elsewhere. That doesn’t mean organizations should race to the bottom and strive to be the lowcost provider. What it does mean is businesses need to ensure they have a value proposition that matters to customers and aligns with the price being charged.

훌륭한 영화, 최첨단 사운드, 유쾌한 직원, 깨끗한 시설을 갖춘 영화관을 상상해보십시오. 지금까지는 그런대로 잘 운영 되었습니다. 상영관 입장을 위해 길게 이어진 대기, 좋은 매너임에도 현금 출납기 사용에 서투른 직원들, 이중 예약된 좌석등의 문제가 발생할 수 있습니다. 이러한 영화관에 소중한 사람을 데리고 갈까요? 아니면 골치 아픈 문제를 피할 수 있는 다른 곳으로 가시겠습니까? 대부분의 사람들은 잠재적인 문제를 가지고 있는 골치아픈 그 영화관에는 가지 않는 것을 선택할 것입니다.

교훈이요? 최소한 사업을 하는 것은 어렵지 않아야합니다. 고객에게 고통을 주는 프로세스가 존재한다면, 잠깐 시간만 내어 대안을 찾을 수 있다는 것에 놀라지 마십시오.

관계 확장

1. 사업을 쉽게 하십시오. 고객의 입장에서 생각해보고, 내가

고객이 되어 사업을 경험해 보십시오. 어떤 것이 어렵게 만들고

있나요? 더 쉽게 할 수 있는 것은 무엇일까요? 어느 부분에서

시간이 소비되나요? 어떤 것이 합리적이고 어떤 것이 합리적이지

않은가요?

2. 다른 사람으로부터 프로세스를 가져오십시오. 프로세스 개선 아이디어는 개선할 것을 어떻게 발견할지 안다면 모든 곳에서 찾을 수 있습니다. 다른 사업과 연관되어 진행될 때, 어떤 프로세스들이 잘 진행되고 있는지, 프로세스들을 채택하거나 적응시키기 위해 무엇을 할 수 있는지 자문해 보십시오.

더 좋은 서비스 사람들이 모두 같지 않습니다. (심지어 야구장에서조차도) 고객은 누군가가 더 많은 관심을 기울이거나 더 나은 관심을 보이기 때문에 종종 조직과 계약 해지를 하게됩니다. 일관된 관심은 우연히 발생하지 않습니다. 조직은 훌륭한 서비스를 정의하고 그러한 약속을 이행할 수 있는 사람들을 고용하고, 어떻게 할 수 있는지 교육하고, 프로세스를 감독할 관리팀을 배치해야 합니다.

관계 확장

1. 당신이 기대하는 것을 정의하십시오. 어떤 서비스가 A+인지를 파악하지 못한다면 직원들이 서비스를 제공하지 못하는 것은 당연합니다.

2. 직원들을 훈련시키고 책임감 있게 만들어 주십시오. 수많은 조직에서 직원들 교육을 제공하긴 하지만 일회성으로 끝나게 됩니다. 보고 듣고 싶은 것을 정의한 후, 직원들을 어떻게 가르칠지 계획을 세워야합니다. 일단 직원들이 해야 할 일과 행동 방법을 알게되면, 책임감을 유지 해 주도록 하십시오. 잘한 것은 보상을 해

주고, 잘못한 점에 대해서는 지도해주십시오.

3. 너무 편안해 하지 마세요. 고객들이 거기에 있기 때문에 그 곳에

있을 것이라고 생각한다면 잘못 생각하신 겁니다. 당신이 수익을

내고 고객들의 사업도 수익을 내야 합니다. 부주의하거나 나태해진

징후를 찾고, 여러분의 가장 좋은 행동으로 돌아가서 여러분의 고객들이 다시 매력을 느낄 수 있도록 즉각적인 조치를 취하세요.

더 좋은 가격 고객이 사업을 떠나는 결정적인 이유는 가격입니다. 고객이 비용을 적게들이고도 이전에 나에게 받은 것과 동일한 제품과 서비스를 받을 수 있다면 떠날 것입니다. 다시 말하면, 가격 방정식에 대한 가치가 제대로 돌아가지 않을 때, 사람들은 다른 곳을 찾게 됩니다. 그렇다고해서 조직이 가격을 낮추어 경쟁해야하며 저가로 공급하는 것으로 노력해야 한다는 것을 의미하지는 않습니다. 기업은 고객에게 가격에 상응하는 서비스를 제공해야 합니다.

Relationship Extenders

1. Shop around. Know what your competitors charge and what they deliver for that money.

2. Find out what matters to your customers other than price. What do they care about? What are they happy to pay more for? What are you offering that they don’t seem to value? What should you add? What should you subtract?

Staying in any relationship requires work, and when it comes to customers, many a suiter will try to take them away from you. With some diligence, you can avoid the break-up blues and spend many happy years together.

관계 확장

1. 주변에서 쇼핑하십시오. 경쟁업체의 가격과 경쟁업체가 그 가격으로 판매를 위해 무엇을 제공하는지 파악하십시오.

2. 가격 이외의 고객에게 중요한 것이 무엇인지 확인하십시오.

고객들은 무엇에 관심이 있습니까? 고객들은 무엇때문에 더 기쁜마음으로 지불하나요? 당신이 제공하는 것이 고객에게는 가치가 없는 것 같습니까? 무엇을 추가해야 할까요? 무엇을 없애야 하나요? 관계를 유지하는 것에는 노력이 필요하며, 더 좋은 서비스를 재공하는 경쟁업체들이 나로부터 고객을 빼앗아 가려고 노력할 것입니다. 부지런히 일하면, 고객을 놓치는 것을 피할 수 있고 행복한 해를 보낼 수 있습니다.

Dr. Bridgette Jones Brooks, Dentist and Columnist

Bridgette Jones Brooks is a very unique person –quiet and unassuming but determined to be successful in serving others. She was born in Chicago, and raised in Winston Salem, North Carolina. While attending Spelman College, a Historically Black College and University in Atlanta, Georgia, she fell in love with community service and became heavily involved with volunteer work, both inside and outside of the Spelman College gates. The college also provided her with the opportunity to learn more about a growing passion for dentistry as a leader within the Spelman College Pre-Dental Institute. Brooks’ first interest in dentistry began after receiving orthodontic treatment and seeing how much it improved her overall confidence. At this point she wanted to be able to give that gift to others, especially those who do not readily have access to dental care.

Upon graduation from Spelman, she was fortunate to become a member of the inaugural class of East Carolina University School (ECU) Dental Medicine in Greenville, North Carolina. In dental school, she helped to found the ECU Chapter of the Student National Dental Association and the Student Professionalism and Ethics Association. Brooks was involved with many other services, including Mission of Mercy Charitable Dental Cares (MOMS), and mentorship organizations on campus and in the Greenville community. During those four years in dental school, she became a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated. Brooks also served in a one-year General Practice Residency in Asheville, North Carolina and is now enrolled in the Georgia School of Orthodontics (Class of 2020).

Today, she is married to her to her college sweetheart Patrick Brooks, a Morehouse graduate who earned a master’s degree of Finance at Eastern North Carolina University. Brooks, the daughter of Sandra and Lafayette Jones, has also been a columnist for Sophisticates Black Hair Styling Guide magazine and a researcher for Urban Call publications.

Gary Gardner,

Retired president of Namaste Laboratories, LLC

Gary Gardner’s parents, Edward and Bettann Gardner, created SoftSheen Products, Inc. in their family’s Chicago basement in 1964, That company muscled its way to the top of the Black-owned beauty company community during the 1970s and 1980s. Gardner took over as president during the company’s heyday, but in 1996 Gardner resigned from his

position. Two years later, SoftSheen was sold to L’Oreal. However, Gardner wasn’t finished with the Black hair business.

He started his own company, Namaste Laboratories, LLC - the makers of the popular Organic Root Stimulator brand. The Organic Root Stimulator products – that includes relaxers, conditioners, shampoos, scalp treatments and more - were sold in Africa, the Caribbean and Europe. Many would say Gardner continued in his parents’ footsteps creating another successful, Black-owned business that capitalized on the booming Black hair industry. However, in 2010, Gardner sold Namaste - which by then commanded

12% of the total United State’s market share of ethnic hair products - in a $100 million cash deal. But the buyer for the company wasn’t Caucasia or European. Dabur India Limited, an Indian company looking to enter the ethnic hair care market, made Gardner an offer he couldn’t refuse. As a part of the deal, Gardner maintained disposition as CEO at Namaste until he later retired.

Beauty Ambassador Styling Tools

By Detra Smith

An Iron For Every Occasion

Electric irons are necessary tools in today’s fast-paced world of travel and session styling. In almost every bridal suite you’ll find a styling team with electric tools, as well as a few bridesmaids with electric tools of their own. The same can be said for runway shows and photo shoots. Everyone seems to have their favorite sizes of curling irons and straightening irons. Some of us even carry an arsenal of tools with one to fit our every need!

One tool that serves a very big purpose but receives very little attention is the Gold ‘N Hot 3/8” Ceramic Root Straightener. With incredible speeds (heating up to 430 degrees in 60 seconds) this iron is perfect for getting close to the scalp for those sleek, silky looks. The size gives you the ability to easily smooth thin sections at the scalp without bulk because there is less of a chance of the iron burning the scalp.

In today’s world of long hair and extensions, we need tools that will straighten fast. That’s why a modern favorite is the Gold ‘N Hot 2 1/4” Professional Ceramic Straightening Iron. This straightening iron heats up to 450 degrees and straightens lots of hair quickly. With one or two passes on thin strands, hair is transformed into a silky, beautiful style. Don’t forget to keep the iron moving over the hair when straightening to create sleekness and prevent those annoying clamp marks.

The Gold ‘N Hot Jumbo Ceramic Triple Barrel Waver is another great accessory for your styling tool kit. This iron is a favorite among stylists because of the unique “fingerwave” texture it creates on long hair – a coveted look that typically takes much longer to achieve. The Jumbo Ceramic Triple Barrel Waver is also a necessary tool for those beachy waves that are all the rage these days. With heats up to 450 degrees, you can always hit your styling high marks.

The essential tools in our working kits are the Marcel irons, which Gold ‘N Hot makes in 4 sizes. Because it is ideal for creating coils and touching up natural hair to eliminate frizz, the 3/8” is one that most stylists keep for working with curly hair. The most versatile iron to have in your kit is the 1” Marcel curling iron, which can be used for firm curls when used with a heat setting product and small sections. By using larger sections and dragging the hair down the barrel while curling, you can create loose, beautiful curls and waves. With 24K gold on the barrel for even heat distribution, and maximum heats up to 450 degrees, any style and any size curl can be formed with these irons.

If you prefer a spring iron, Gold ‘N Hot has you covered with 7 different sizes. They have the same features as the Marcel irons, along with a couple of larger sizes. The 1 ¼” and 1 ½” barrels have been requested more recently for the more relaxed styles that feature the popular “lived in” look. These larger sizes are perfect for updos and loose braid styling because they provide hair a little bend, making it smooth on the surface and more workable, which saves you from pesky flyaways later.

The set of tools described here will have you prepared for any styling situation. Need glamour waves? Curly girl? Sleek and sexy? No problem! You’ll have complete versatility. Remember that your kit defines who you are as a stylist. As a professional, you must have everything ready at your fingertips, so you can expertly pull off styling feats -- from simple to difficult -- in a short amount of time. Your clients are counting on you. When you exceed their expectations, that’s the perfect reason for them to call you back.

Gold ‘N Hot is looking for brand ambassadors to provide feedback on our products and increase brand awareness. If you are interested, please contact Gold N’ Hot Product Manager Jessica Gallegos at JGallegos@hotus.com or visit our website at www. goldnhothair.com.

Clipper Cutting with Ceramic Blades Offer Unique Advantages

by Kenny Duncan

In the clipper world, ceramic blades are still a relatively new innovation compared to the steel blade. When I am using my detachable blade clippers in clipper classes, I am often asked: What’s the white blade for? or Why is the blade plastic? It’s a common misconception among those new to clipper cutting that the steel blades, made popular on iconic tools like the Andis Master and T-Outliner, are better. However, the ceramic blade offers a number of advantages over an all-steel blade set.

Ceramic blades were developed to be longer lasting, cooler running and smoother-cutting than steel. For the clipper cutter who uses a particular blade set more often than others, the benefits should be clear. At the same time, ceramic blades provide the novice clipper cutter with a major benefit – the ability to keep the clipper turned on for extended periods of time without causing the blades to get too hot for their customers. Cool and comfortable tools can help deliver a great customer experience, which leads to positive word of mouth advertising. I use my Andis Cool Care to help keep my steel blades cool, but with ceramic blades they don’t get hot in the first place! Andis offers a complete line of ceramic detachable blades ranging from size 00000 to 3 ½ called CeramicEdge. Some people might be surprised to learn that the ceramic blades cost a bit more money, but the benefits are worth every penny. My personal favorite CeramicEdge blade set size is the 1 1/4. I use it the most for classic wave length cuts with short, curly hair and it always gives me smooth, cool-cutting results.

So to meet the demands of clipper cutting customers who desire a higher quality cut, consider stocking ceramic-equipped clippers and blade sets as an alternative to steel. Visit andis.com to learn more about the CeramicEdge line.

THERAPY TRENDS

E-Commerce Could Re-Route Consumers to E-OTC

by Elayne McClaine

Understanding the dynamics of e-commerce is the best way to remain a viable brick and mortar OTC. Consumers are driven to e-commerce sites to obtain information about products they may be considering. Major brands recognize this and will utilize a shopping portal to raise awareness about a technology or an ingredient story. Consumers expect to experiment with color matches or an online skin care diagnosis. Shoppers rely on these blind endorsements to support their purchase decision which often happens in their favorite brick and mortar location. When it is time to use the online shopping cart, they should be re-directed to the local OTC.

There are concerns that e-commerce will overtake beauty business sales and that it will transform the way consumers purchase their beauty products. In reality, e-commerce should be viewed as a companion to brick and mortal retail sales. E-commerce portals can compete on discounted pricing and sampling through subscription programs. They cannot replace the in-store service and experience. Makeup, Skincare and Haircare are the key e-tailed categories. Routine beauty care regimens are easy to replenish and make recurring purchases online. This type of e-commerce does threaten OTC, beauty chains, drugstores and luxury department stores. Consumers will opt for convenience in shopping for routine purchases. However, a true beauty enthusiast will shop online and purchase in person.

Within the OTC beauty business, a key sector that is being threatened is the online sale of wigs. OTC stores cannot keep up with the required variety of inventory in style and shade selections. E-Commerce offers an affordable direct from manufacturer option that is very cost effective. E-commerce gives consumers the confidence to shop with authority. Rather than fight the e-commerce trend, many manufacturers and store owners should tap into the e-commerce pathway to their OTC.

in-cosmetics Latin America returns with new programme to help manufacturers target growth in the region

29th May 2018 - With the countdown on until in-cosmetics Latin America (19-20 September) returns, space in the halls of São Paulo’s Expo Center Norte is at a premium with the show already at 98% exhibitor capacity.

The Brazil-based date in the in-cosmetics calendar is stirring up worldwide anticipation, with around a third of booked exhibitors hailing from international countries, including the USA, India, Japan, China, Korea and Switzerland.

The big industry names will be back with companies such as Croda, Ashland, Dow Chemical, Symrise and Evonik all confirmed. Each will showcase their latest raw materials and technological breakthroughs, with Campo Research bringing a selection of exciting new products all the way from Singapore.

One product set to pique the interest of visiting beauty professionals is its Campo Pearl Extract, ideal for enhancing skin products such as moisturisers, whiteners, reparatives and UV protection.

Also hailing from Asia, China-based Fenchem Biotek will come armed with its range of natural products, including Alkyl Polyglucoside. The nonionic surfactant comes from renewable, natural raw materials, such as vegetable oil and starch – ideal to meet rising consumer demand for green solutions.

Helping R&D professionals identify the most exciting active and functional ingredient launches of recent months, the Innovation Zone will be back with an easily-accessible collection of the best products new to market. Each product in this area will also be entered into the in-cosmetics Innovation Zone Awards, with visitors invited to the ceremony to see which companies walk away with the Gold, Silver and Bronze prizes, as well as the coveted ITEHPEC Innovation Award.

Brand new to the 2018 event, and a guaranteed highlight, will be the new Spotlight On programme. Dedicated areas at the show will focus on various market categories, such as haircare and anti-ageing, with attendees able to test and learn more about

functional and active ingredients specifically designed for these formulations.

As well as introducing visitors to the latest developments on the products front, this year’s in-cosmetics Latin America will host a wide-ranging education programme. The Marketing Trends Theatre will see Mintel covering shifting trends in haircare for Brazilian consumers; while Beautystreams will provide a look ahead into beauty colour trends for spring and summer 2019. Stylus Group will open visitors’ eyes (and intrigue their tongues) with the future of flavour in cosmetics and a half-day panel will discuss a range of topical and essential issues from regulations and R&D to fragrances and haircare.

Meanwhile, dozens of Workshops and Technical Seminars will ensure beauty professionals leave the show with a wealth of knowledge and new formulation techniques under their belts.

Daniel Zanetti, Exhibition Director of in-cosmetics Latin America, commented:

“The in-cosmetics brand continues to go from strength to strength and our Latin America instalment is following suit. To be almost at capacity four months out from show highlights the importance of the event in this region and we are excited to make this the best edition yet.

“After three years of recession, industry attention is increasingly gathering on the potential of the LATAM region and in-cosmetics Latin America affords us front row seats to watch this exciting area grow. Historically, the beauty industry in Brazil accelerates two to three times faster than the national economy, according to João Carlos Basilio, president of the Brazilian Association of Industry of Personal Hygiene, Perfumery and Cosmetics. To that end, we are very excited to see all the best innovations on display at the show this September.”

Wahl Professional’s New 5-Star Look is Golden

Sterling, Ill. (April 28, 2018) Mention the name 5-Star Senior or Magic Clip and what comes to mind? Most likely it is the precision, power and ease of fading that barbers and stylists rely on from Wahl Professional’s 5-Star Series for their multi-cultural clients.

Now look again, because precision fading with the name Wahl 5-Star is taking on a new gold-star design. Every one of the tools will receive an update and be revealed over the next month.

“Each product will progress into the new 5-Star look at different times during the second quarter of 2018,” said Tracy Vock, Senior Product Manager, Professional Division, Wahl Clipper Corporation. “The completion date for the full line to be transferred over to the new look and feel is the end of May.”

As the new 5-Star look begins to unfold, each of the classic styles will be transformed by a consistency in look with gold color accents as the dominate design feature, along with easily identifiable Wahl logos that are laser cut into each tool.

“Think of it as an enhancement to the products,” says Jesey Nicholson, Senior Graphic Designer, Professional Division, Wahl Clipper Corporation. “The new look was designed with barbers in mind, providing the consistency of tools for the busy barber and stylist. Gold levers and switches throughout the line separates the 5-Star products from our other clippers and trimmers.”

The idea for the new gold-star look originated from discussions on the line in general and working with Wahl’s marketing team and design engineers to test samples and colors to finalize the style.

“I’m excited about the upgrade to the 5-Star Senior clipper that

gives this product a lot of class,” says Nicholson. “The black and gold accents balance well together and give the product more of a high-end look that reflects the product’s performance.”

Barbers will also notice a color change in the attachment combs in some trimmer sets to help elevate the appearance of the line.

“There are not any new features for each product,” says Vock, “Each product is already unique, so we basically gave the line a face lift, so to speak.”

Just last year, a similar update to the Wahl Designer Clipper Family of tools was introduced, featuring a classic black color scheme to keep everything consistent in that line.

“We are focused on making the Wahl 5-Star Series look consistent and upscale,” says Nicholson. “Our customers love our products, so making the looks consistent as well as enhancing the packaging was an easy decision.”

The branded look of the new 5-Star packaging reveals a clean design on the front. On the back of the package, pertinent information easily identifies how each product differs, and printing enhancements to the package design make the products stand out when displayed on store shelves.

As for marketing the new line, Wahl Professional created firstclass product videos to help show off the new looks, along with website updates and social media posts to reflect this new design. Those interested in learning more about the new 5-Star line can view the latest product improvements at http://wahlpro.com/ products/5-star/.

I am Lisa. I am unapologetically me. I was born and made to be Carol’s Daughter.”

McBride Research Laboratories CEO Awarded Business of the Year Award by DeKalb Chamber of Commerce

June 01, 2018 (Atlanta, Georgia)-- On May 24th, the DeKalb Chamber of Commerce hosted their annual Apex Business Awards, which honors businesses for their outstanding standards in business development, employee programs, business innovation and contribution to Dekalb County and the metro Atlanta area. This year’s awards featured community leaders such as Ted Cummings, Chair of Onyx MS Group; Sharon Macaluso, Co-Chair of Small Business Advisory Council Area Director at the University of Georgia; Wendy Corona, from Channel 2 Action News; Rachea Brooks, from Dekalb Chamber of Commerce; Katherina Taylor, President & CEO of Dekalb Chamber of Commerce; and James Bailey, President & CEO of Russell Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship. Among the people honored this night was haircare entrepreneur Cornell McBride Jr., CEO of McBride Research Laboratories, who received the Business of the Year Award in the $10-20M category.

and McBride Sr. established Mcbride Research Laboratories in 1990.

Hailing from a family of beauty trailblazers in African American hair care, Cornell McBride Jr. is the second generation CEO of McBride Research Laboratories and President of internationally renowned hair care line Design Essentials®. A multimillion-dollar business, Design Essentials was conceived by Cornell McBride Sr. and gained widespread notoriety upon the launch of their first product “Sta-Sof-Fro,” released in the 1980’s, which was the first black hair softener on the market at the time. The company has grown exponentially since

Becoming president of Design Essentials in 2010, Cornell McBride Jr. has grown the company exponentially in the ever-shifting and growing world of beauty. An example of his innovation was the launch of Design Essentials Naturals®, which was developed to give naturally curly and kinky hair luxurious nourishment. This line also features vitamin drops, scalp itch relief, thermal protectant cream, and curl enhancing hydration milk. Within nearly 30 years, the company has expanded on a global scale nurturing ethnic hair around the world. McBride’s ability to stay in pace with the fast track beauty world, releasing fresh new products that outperform sales forecasts while accelerating growth across mass retailers and globally, makes it obvious why McBride Research Laboratories was awarded Business of the Year by the DeKalb Chamber of Commerce.

“Something we always try to make sure to do as a company is to see what difference do we make to our stakeholders, our consumers, our employees, and even our community,” says Cornell McBride Jr. in his acceptance speech. “The goal is to wake-up every day figuring out ‘how can I make a difference?’ It’s not what you can do for me...our thought process is always what can I do for you?”
